It is depressing how much of politics is empty signifiers.
They'll ignore 80% of his life, voting record, etc because he looks like a certain demographic.
And then spends most of his campaign attacking....Democrats.
The people who he would have to work closely with in this job he supposedly wants.

The statistics linking premature death to gun ownership are quite clear.
The likeliest outcome of stocking your home with firearms is that someone who lives there will be shot.
Intentionally or otherwise.
Just statistics.
A firefight with the U.S. military will also lead to your death.

None of these undocumented workers live on welfare.
None of them vote.
All they do is work for super low wages so YOUR life can be cheaper.
If that arrangement is somehow unacceptable, then tell your politicians to confront the companies that EMPLOY these workers.
And send the goon squad back HOME.

If you really don’t want a large undocumented workforce talk to employers.
But get ready for everything to be more expensive then.
Either way, none of this has anything to do with shooting Renee Good in the face.
That’s just fascist bullshit.

Immigration is a legitimate political issue to discuss, and construct legislation around.
It has nothing to do with masked goons pointing weapons at elderly people in Minnesota church parking lots.

When a fascist is president, the FBI will not investigate murders that are essentially ordered by the regime.
So you have to do everything possible to prevent a fascist from being elected.
Voters must engage in baseline critical thinking.
Or else the results will be very bad.

You can't abolish the FBI, and wouldn't want to.
Sometimes you need a functional non fascist version of the FBI.
But if you let a fascist win the presidency he will turn the FBI, and all the other institutions to his will.
That's how power works.
Top down.
So, again:
voters must DO BETTER.

We underrate the degree to which personal problems result in fascism.
Trump, Stephen Miller, Scalia, etc.
These are people who are f**ked up in the head.
It's personal.
Not just business.

Presidents should not be judged on the dexterity of their verbiage.
They should be judged on who they hire.
How tasks are delegated.
Overall governing philosophy.
Whether they are pathological liars.
Whether they are fascists.
Biden wouldn't hire Stephen Miller.
Just one of 1000 examples.

I stand by my contention that a gravely diminished Biden, fully nonverbal even, would make a 10x better president with a 10x better team working for him than what we have now.
